Short description

The Queen of Selvascura risks everything to be a mother; the King of Roccaforte falls in love with the voice of a mysterious girl; the King of Altomonte becomes obsessed with a flea and neglects his daughter.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The scene of the fight with the sea monster was intended to be more dynamic, but director and producer Matteo Garrone had to make changes because when the monster was shown to Garrone's son and his friends during a break, the prop monster (it was a physical prop, not a CGI creation) broke.
  • The name of the Italian composer Girolamo Frescobaldi is misspelled in the credits – Frescobladi.
  • Matteo Garrone's first English-language film.
  • The sea monster fight scene was intended to be more dynamic, but director and producer Matteo Garrone had to make changes to it because when the monster was shown to his son and friends during a break, the prop monster (it was indeed a prop monster, not a product of computer technology) broke.
  • When the heroine tunes her guitar and sings a song, her attire, hair, guitar, and overall appearance are reminiscent of Jan Vermeer's famous painting "The Guitar Player."
